347: Chapter 346 Dimensional Reduction Fragments! A Cosmic Law Applicable to Multiple Dimensions: Life Feeds on Negative Entropy!

"Ahem..."

After a couple of light coughs, Smith hid his true emotions deep within and met everyone's gaze, his expression both devout and firm.

"But everyone!"

"Blue Star is the land of hope for our Lord's future, and we cannot allow China to destroy it for even a moment!"

"We absolutely cannot accept that when the great Trisolaran Fleet officially descends upon the Solar System in over four hundred years, what they see is nothing but desolation and exhaustion!"

"That would be our greatest dereliction of duty!"

As soon as Smith finished speaking, the dozens of exiled Eagle Nation high-ranking officials present responded excitedly, launching a new round of denunciation against China.

Under self-brainwashing, these glorious spiritual Trisolarans did not look upon China, a level 1 cosmic civilization on the level of a paramecium, with any regard at all.

Not long ago, Sophon had already informed them that, based on the comprehensive judgment of the Trisolaran supercomputer array, the reason for the quantum blind zone in the eastern hemisphere of Blue Star, and why China was able to experience a technological explosion in such a short time, was more than 99% likely because the Chinese had accidentally obtained Dimensional Reduction Fragments produced when higher civilizations absorbed negative entropy, gaining technological knowledge that far exceeded their civilization level, yet was highly fragmented and completely unsystematic.

But from the current perspective, China's technological explosion was limited to this.

Otherwise, they would absolutely not have done such a foolish thing as wasting massive resources just to build space cities for the sake of indulgence.

According to the evolution path of cosmic civilizations summarized by the Trisolaran Civilization, there is only one optimal development path for a Level 1 civilization.

That is, to immediately exhaust the strategic resources of the entire star system and go all out to build a massive interstellar fleet—a super-large expeditionary fleet that concentrates the vast majority of the civilization's power!

If one foolishly gathers all the star system's resources to the home planet but wastes them on meaningless things, there is only one final result: the main body of the civilization will be trapped and die along with the home planet in this star system, and only a very, very small number of people will be able to board technologically backward space warships, wandering aimlessly in deep space, living in constant terror!

"Exactly!"

"We must think of every possible way to stop China!"

Dr. Joe, who specialized in astrophysics, took over from Smith, saying angrily.

"The great Trisolaran Civilization has fully proven with historical practice!"

"For an intelligent species to raise its own civilization level, the main body of the civilization must develop deep into the interior of the planet and concentrate all its power to build an interstellar fleet capable of carrying the entire civilization across vast star systems!"

"This is not only the deepest concealment for the civilization itself, but also allows for more efficient use of planetary resources, thereby significantly improving the civilization's ability to survive!"

"And this branch of the technology tree known as space cities, which extremely wastes star system resources, is completely the wrong path, and a dead end at that; it should never have appeared in the Solar System!"

As soon as Dr. Joe finished speaking, others also chimed in.

"That Dimensional Reduction Fragment that China obtained is simply a whisper from the devil!"

"We must stop them; the Solar System belongs to the glorious Trisolarans!"

"Oh, Supreme and Great Lord, please completely eradicate the greatest tumor of Blue Star, the ultimate scourge of the Solar System, the shameless and pathetic Chinese!"

"..."

The words of everyone present were full of disdain, jealousy, and hatred.

The main reason for this was that Dimensional Reduction Fragment, which was also the culprit behind the destruction of their Eagle Nation.

After Sophon's many explanations, everyone already had a basic understanding of Dimensional Reduction Fragments.

It sounded very mystical; these Dimensional Reduction Fragments were similar to dream revelations, just like a god suddenly bestowing a gift.

Specifically, it meant that a certain individual or group suddenly had an epiphany, and their speed of exploring cosmic laws accelerated significantly.

According to Sophon's analysis, the fundamental theoretical revolution that suddenly erupted on Blue Star over a hundred years ago without any warning, and which explored more than 95% of the physical laws of the three-dimensional material universe currently grasped by humanity in just over thirty years, was very likely the influence of Dimensional Reduction Fragments.

At first, everyone could not believe it at all, and even felt their worldview was overturned.

As top scientists of the Eagle Nation, even though they had already revered the Trisolaran Civilization as their supreme Lord, they remained firm supporters of "atheism" in their hearts.

Wouldn't this theory confirm "theism"?

Regarding this, Sophon provided a complete scientific theoretical explanation summarized by the Trisolaran Civilization.

Such mystical things are actually not uncommon in the three-dimensional material universe; one could even say they are very frequent.

To intelligent life in the three-dimensional material universe, high-dimensional cosmic civilizations are indeed like gods—all-knowing, omnipresent, and omnipotent.

Just like a piece of paper that only has length and width, a person can not only see everything on the paper clearly, but can also point a finger at any position on the paper at any time.

Assuming there is a two-dimensional cosmic space on the paper, then to the intelligent life living in this two-dimensional universe, humans in the three-dimensional world are indeed no different from omnipotent gods.

After years of research, the Trisolaran Civilization reached a regular theory that has not been proven but cannot be falsified.

There is a physical law in the three-dimensional material universe that, despite the difference in dimensions, seems to be universally applicable across multiple dimensions!

That is: Life feeds on negative entropy, and even high-dimensional life is no exception!

"Entropy" is a quantifier mainly used to describe the degree of disorder of a system (such as the expansion of the universe).

The more ordered a system is, the smaller the entropy; the more chaotic a system is, the greater the entropy.

In any closed, isolated system, the total degree of chaos (i.e., "entropy") will inevitably fluctuate and increase, eventually reaching the most disordered state, which is "entropy increase."

Intelligent life is the same.

A living organism is constantly creating entropy and generating entropy to the outside world; once it reaches the maximum value, the living organism will face its final demise.

Therefore, if life wants to maintain its survival state for a long time, i.e., maintain its own order, it must continuously obtain matter and energy from other systems (absorb "negative entropy").

For example, Blue Star humans eat food with lower chaos levels every day and then excrete poop with higher chaos levels, constantly offsetting the entropy that must be generated during their own survival, completing metabolism, and only in this way can life continue.

This physical law is the cosmic law that the Trisolaran Civilization discovered to be universally applicable across multiple dimensions.

The Trisolaran Civilization believes that, regarding those inconceivable Dimensional Reduction Fragments, to describe them in layman's terms, it is as if high-dimensional civilizations, after absorbing negative entropy food from even higher dimensions, digested it and produced some poop, which was then unconsciously projected into lower-dimensional spaces.

These "poops," which contain the scattered truths of cosmic laws, are indeed devoid of nutrition for high-dimensional civilizations, but in the eyes of three-dimensional cosmic civilizations, they are like treasures!

Even their Trisolaran Civilization has obtained Dimensional Reduction Fragments from high-dimensional cosmic civilizations many times during the process of civilization development. This is also the key to why the Trisolaran Civilization, despite being at a Level 2 civilization technological level, was able to deeply master low-dimensional unfolding and high-dimensional folding technologies, and successfully create the super-intelligent microscopic particle "Sophon"!
